Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Have I Given You and the Child a Sense of Security?

Old Mrs. Mu, having learned that Mu Bailang would be bringing Fan YuKe and her yet-to-be-born ’great-grandchild’ home today, sent someone to prepare early!

All sharp objects in the old house were cushioned, and she had Fan YuKe’s favorite foods prepared in the kitchen...

She even personally went to wait at the gate of the old mansion.

Honestly speaking, Fan YuKe is now the most important person in the Mu Family!

When she saw their car arrive, Old Mrs. Mu’s face was filled with excitement.

Fan YuKe usually depended solely on her mother, never having felt such warmth, and she felt increasingly guilty towards the elderly lady.

"Grandma, why did you come out?" Mu Bailang asked with a smile after he got out of the car and saw his grandmother.

But unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t even glance at him, bypassing him straight to Fan YuKe.

She gave her a big hug.

"Yuke, Grandma missed you so much!"

Mu Bailang, "..."

Well, once again, he’s just the adopted one.

"Grandma, I missed you too!" Fan YuKe hugged her back, sniffing a little as she spoke. "How have you been lately? Is your health alright?"

"I’m fine, just worried about you!" Old Mrs. Mu held her hand, full of affection.

"You’re three months along now, is the baby in your belly giving you any trouble?"

"..."

She wasn’t pregnant, how could the baby trouble her...

A flash of uncertainty showed in her eyes.

"A little bit, but it’s all right, within tolerable limits!"

Old Mrs. Mu felt distressed, holding her hand as they walked through the courtyard into the living room. She tactfully did not ask about the previous conflicts the two had.

As long as they made up, everything would be fine.

Listening to Grandma Mu chattering away with Fan YuKe, Mu Bailang smiled slightly, his hands shoved into his western pants pockets, and went to the kitchen to cut fruit.

Before leaving, Mu Bailang gave Fan YuKe a meaningful look, signaling her to keep Grandma company.

Fan YuKe felt suddenly pressured.

"Yuke, now it’s just the two of us, no need to be shy!"

Old Mrs. Mu’s eyes sparkled, almost as if she had sunflower seeds in her hand, as she asked with a maternal smile, "Tell Grandma honestly, does that rascal Bailang ever bully you? Does he give you flowers and gifts, does he give you and the baby enough sense of security?"

"..." Fan YuKe’s emotions were indescribable.

Seeing Mu Bailang caring and attentive, Grandma Mu assumed they had a good relationship, but in reality...

What Grandma Mu imagined wasn’t happening at all on Mu Bailang’s side?

She could only bite the bullet and lie.

"...Of course he didn’t bully me. Young Master Mu is very good to me. He specially came to the set to find me, took me to... the seaside, and prepared romantic surprises for me. I was very moved."

Tsk, couldn’t see it before, this rascal has a bunch of ways to pursue a girl.

Old Mrs. Mu’s smile deepened, "Earlier, Grandma worried about your relationship running into issues, but now it seems, I was overthinking."

Old Mrs. Mu patted her hand, "As long as you two get along well, Grandma is really at peace..."

Upon hearing this, Fan YuKe felt even guiltier and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Grandma, I brought a gift for you today!"

"A gift for me?" Old Mrs. Mu was pleasantly surprised.

Fan YuKe pulled a beautiful gift box from her handbag.

"You’ve been so kind to me, Grandma, you’re always in my thoughts..."

Just as she handed the gift box to Grandma Mu, a dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from the living room entrance.

Father Mu’s broad and imposing figure appeared in view, and upon glimpsing Fan YuKe, the smile vanished from his eyes!

Fan YuKe’s heart suddenly leapt.

Mu Bailang’s father has always been very unfriendly with her...

"Uncle!"

Out of politeness, she decided to greet him.

However, Father Mu didn’t even look at her, directly sitting on the sofa opposite Old Mrs. Mu.

"Mom, you called me over just to meet this outsider?"

"..." Fan YuKe bit her lip and fell silent.

"What do you mean outsider, she’s your daughter-in-law, carrying your grandchild!"

Old Mrs. Mu countered, as if showing off, "Look, this is the gift Yuke brought me, much more dutiful than you!"

Father Mu’s gaze lingered on Fan YuKe’s flat stomach, full of sarcasm, "Had a hard time marrying into a wealthy family, naturally one has to curry favor quickly, or else if certain things get out, everything would be for naught, wouldn’t it?"

Fan YuKe was startled, her pupils in shock.

She sensed that his words were deliberately pointed at her...

"What things getting exposed?" Old Mrs. Mu was puzzled.

Fan YuKe’s nerves suddenly tightened, filled with anxiety, her palms sweaty.

Could Father Mu truly know something?

"Mom, I just want to tell you, it’s necessary to be wary of others." Father Mu’s shrewd eyes glinted coldly, "Actors are masters at acting!"

"Ha, at least that’s better than some people who come empty-handed every time, not even pretending to be dutiful!"

Mu Bailang carried fruits, walking behind Fan YuKe from the kitchen.

His narrowed eyes were filled with mockery as he retorted mercilessly.

After he arrived, Fan YuKe felt a bit more at ease...

Father Mu’s face turned livid, "You brat, what did you say?!!"

Mu Bailang wasn’t afraid of him at all, curling his thin lips into a playful smile, "What? Are you hard of hearing so soon?"

"Alright! Can’t you two say less?!"

Old Mrs. Mu truly had enough of them bickering every time they met, she had a headache.

Since the elderly lady spoke up, Father Mu coldly looked at the few of them and turned to go upstairs.

The atmosphere improved slightly afterward.

"Yuke, his temperament is like that, don’t take it to heart."

Fan YuKe knew Grandma was comforting her, and she appreciated it, "I won’t, Grandma. Please open the gift I brought for you. Do you like it?"

Old Mrs. Mu saw her being so considerate, continued to unpack it...

Only to find a set of exquisite skincare products inside.

"Grandma, this was recommended by a professional makeup artist in our circle. Not only does it have whitening effects, but it can also reduce wrinkles. I previously got fine lines on my eyes from staying up late, and after using this, they disappeared. You can try it!"

Don’t think that just because Old Mrs. Mu is elderly, she wouldn’t care about beauty; this gift hit her heart perfectly, immediately bringing a radiant smile.

"Great, Grandma will use it tonight!! Truly, my darling granddaughter-in-law is the most thoughtful..."

Mu Bailang watched the scene of Grandma’s smile expanding, squinting slightly.

Spending money to make Grandma happy was no big deal.

...

As night quietly descended, enveloping the whole Imperial City.

Ning Yichu arrived at the hotel where Dr. Chen was staying.

’Knock, knock, knock...’

"Come in." After the knocking, a man’s weary invitation came from inside.

Ning Yichu quietly opened the door; this was the hotel suite, a two-room layout. Dr. Chen, now retired abroad, returned to the country due to Shu Manxi’s urgings.

"Chu Chu, you’re here?" Dr. Chen was wearing reading glasses, sitting on the couch watching his phone, and upon noticing the movement, he looked up, "I was just about to find you, Shu Manxi’s trending topic... I’ve seen it. It’s indeed brought troubles for you."

He had thought Shu Manxi would behave for a while after learning her lesson.

But unexpectedly, she was speaking recklessly in front of the media!!
